View Poll Results: Will Irving be Traded by Next Year’s NBA Trade Deadline?

The celtcis need to win it this year and kyrie needs to be the center point or he is going to new york.

I don't believe Boston will win a title next season. Also Kyrie had 4 teams on his list, why is everyone focused on Ny?

Teams: knicks, HEAT, Spurs & Wolves.

They don’t need to win it all. Everyone knows the Warriors are still the best team. As long as they show improvement as a team and the potential to win it all in the year or two after, they’re fine.

You are not factoring in, what if he doesn't want to be there long term? He might not dislike the organization, but that doesn't mean he would want to be there years on end.

And there is nothing wrong with that.

I wrote when Irving got traded to Boston, no one better not throw hate his way if he doesn't re-sign, because they were never on his list. If he ends up staying then thats fine, it's his life but if he leaves, NO one better have a negative comment against him just because he doesn't want to stay on a team he was traded too.

Hi

It just takes one off season, and Pat can turn Miami to an over night contender. Players know that Pat will get it done, he just needs couple of stars to hop on.

Why on earth would the C's blow up their team that was a game away from the Finals? I don't think the C's have any interest in taking massive steps backwards.

People who say Irving or Hayward aren't really needed because the C's ended up overachiving really didn't watch the team closely. Cs had issues with consistent scoring through out the year and especially in the 4th quarters (just look at the playoffs for example). They desperately could have used Kyrie and Hayward. I think people really have short term memories and forget how good and impactful those 2 guys are.

There’s growing concern here in Boston that this is legitimate. If it is legit, Danny should try to maximize his value. The Wolves are on Kyrie’s list and there have been reports that KAT is unhappy in Minnesota.

Celtics trade Kyrie Irving, #27, 2019 Memphis

Timberwolves trade KAT, Cole Aldrich, Tyus Jones

If Celtics need to add a future first, fine. I think this deal makes sense for both sides if KAT is truly unhappy and Kyrie doesn’t want to sign in Boston and the Wolves are on his list. The money works as well.

Celtics get another young core piece in KAT. If Minnesota is looking to trade KAT, you’re not going to do much better than Irving (unless it’s Kawhi). The rest of the pieces are filler, though that Memphis pick could be nice.

Minny would try to get back in the deal a contract that is similar to what they are giving up. So Brown would have to be added along with Kyrie.

But at least someone is actually trying to look at the teams Irving had on his list. Everyone seems to be focused on the Knicks.

You going to keep saying that until someone says something like Dragic and Olynyk for Irving or Irving for Whiteside?

Lmao!

I don't think Pat & Ainge will be communicating any time soon.

I am sure Wolves & Spurs can work something out if it came down to it.

Hayward is like a top 25 player on the league. How would he not have had some sort of impact, especially when Kyrie/Horford were off the floor and the C's were trotting out like 4 rookie bench lineups?

Nof discounting that he could leave but this seems like speculation and hysteria. He says he has a great and involved restionship with coaching and front office. Apparently him and Hayward are really tight. He had a relationship with Tatum before the Celtics even. On paper he has the best chance to win in Boston out of anywhere else I’ve seen mentioned. He can get a 5th year in Boston that you’d think would be valuable with his injury history. He has family ties to Boston with his dad.

I’m certainly not going to try and get into his head, but it’s not like any of this is even substantiated. None of the writers are even pretending this have inside info on him wanting out. Not discounting that he could leave but as a Celtics fan I don’t feel that nervous that a split would come on his end.

Growing concern from who? There’s literally nothing on this that isn’t just the recycled original “report”.
